Greta Thunberg says she was kidnapped in international waters

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has arrived in Paris after she was deported from Israel. 

Thunberg was detained by Israeli forces along with 12 other activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid ship.

Israeli forces stormed the vessel in the early hours of Monday morning as it sailed in international waters towards Gaza, carrying a symbolic amount of aid toward the territory.

“We were kidnapped in international waters,” Thunberg told reporters at her arrival in Paris.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, who coordinated the voyage, confirmed that four of the crew members have been deported, while the eight remaining activists continue to be detained after refusing to sign deportation papers.
